Every so often I meet people who possess the freedom to just be; they seem to know instinctively how to live lightly. It's like the line in the song by the musical group Hamsa Lila: "Darme algo que no pesa," which translates to: "Give me something that has no weight." So often we add weight to our actions, even if we don’t realize it. But what would happen if we could find a way get lighter? Consider how weights placed on a tree's branches might affect its growth. The limbs sag where they might have grown straight and true. What are these weights we put on ourselves and others? Wouldn't life be simpler if we could do without them?
